(F/n)'s POV

It's been two days now since I realized I lost my ring. Dammit, where did I put it?! I usually don't misplace things like this.

I just don't know anymore.

I haven't even told anyone about what Gunther did to me that night. We haven't even said a word or looked at each other since then!

Okay (f/n), don't dwell on this subject too much.

I told myself.

Right now I was heading to the mess hall where commander Erwin had an announcement.

All we were told was that it was pretty important.

As I walked inside, I spotted Hanji, Levi and Mike standing next to the commander.

They were all lined up at the front of the mess hall. By the looks on their faces, it was something major.

A few minutes passed and all of the scouts were in here so the commander started his speech.

"Good afternoon, cadets. Sorry for pulling you out of your training...but there was something we must discuss. A few days ago, we just received word that there had been a Titan breach in Shiganshina."

Everyone in the room gasped except for the commander and the squad leaders.

Oh my God...a Titan breach?!

"The higher ups and I didn't tell you right away since we needed a plan on what we were going to do. I'll be going to a meeting later today in wall Rose with the commanders of the other regiments. We should hopefully have an expedition into Shiganshina tomorrow morning to fix the situation at hand. That is all, cadets. You may be dismissed and go back to training."

The commander finished the assembly and I went over to talk to Hanji.

"Hey Hanji, is this what you were talking about the other day. You know...when you said "nothing that concerns me"?" I asked when I got over to her.

I saw her exhale a sigh, turning over to look at me. "Yes." She bluntly answered. "Oh." I muttered. I nodded, walking away. I didn't want to bother her about this, so I went outside to continue training.

I can't believe the Titans breached Shiganshina! The Titans have officially broken through the outer wall. We haven't seen this happen in over a hundred years, right?

I was so distracted by my thoughts, I almost didn't notice that I walked into someone. We hit our foreheads together, both grabbing them and wincing at the pain.

"Sorry." We apologized in unison.

Wait...I know whose voice that is.

"Levi?" I asked, looking up and seeing his steel gray eyes.

"(F/n)?" He looked up as well, our eyes locking together.

I let out a small chuckle as I moved Levi's hands away from his forehead.

"Are you alright?" I asked, examining the small bruise that formed. "Yeah, but I should be asking you that." He replied, moving my hair out of the way.

Then...Levi seemed to get a bit...carried away...?

His hands made their way from my forehead, to my cheeks. His eyes were slowly closing as he leaned in carefully.

"How does it look?" I asked, snapping Levi back to reality. "...O-oh...! It's bruised up, but it'll be fine. I guess we hit each other pretty hard." He hesitated.

"Okay. I'm starting to get a headache from that impact. Mind if I skip training, and lie down?"

"Go ahead. I am too." Levi responded, already heading back to his office.

I shrugged, going back to my room.

When I kicked off my boots and slid out of my jacket, I lied down on my bed. I watched the ceiling as I was in deep thought.

I'm so stressed out! First, Levi likes me. Second, I lose my ring. And third, FUCKING SHIGANSHINA WAS BREACHED BY MOTHERFUCKING TITANS!!

I rolled over on my side, my eyes slowly closing. The sound of the door opening filled my ears. As I could only see a crack between my eyelids, I saw a shadow getting closer to me. Until my eyes shut fully.

Levi's POV

I was walking back to my office now. Before I turned the first corner, I looked back behind me.

I watched her until she disappeared behind a wall.

I mean, she could have slept with me-stop it Levi! Quit being so perverted!

I heavily sighed when I entered my bedroom. Going up to my mirror, I inspected my forehead.

Hmm...it is pretty bruised. That's a big bruise from just hitting my head on (f/n)'s. Tch. Just like when she hit her head on that wall when I was taking her back to her room.

Flash Back

It was currently eleven at night. I still haven't seen cadet (f/n) return to her room to go to bed yet. I would check on her in the mess hall every hour to see how much progress she's made, and it was time for me to check in again.

When I opened the mess hall door, I saw a sleeping figure on the floor. I walked over to (f/n), she was sleeping on her side. I gently pushed her over on her back with my foot. "Oi, cadet. Wake up." I said in a bored tone.

All I got for a response was her groaning, and turning on to her other side. Sighing, I bent over and grabbed one of her legs and started dragging her out of the room.

Man she's a deep sleeper. I've been dragging her across a hard wooden floor for five minutes now, and nothing?!

I turned a corner and heard a loud thud in the process. Stopping in my tracks and slowly looking over my shoulder, I saw that (f/n) hit her forehead on the corner of the wall.

My eyes widened and I covered my mouth, trying to hold in a small laugh.

Oh God...my bad...

I let go of her leg, walking over to her upper half and kneeling down beside her.

She's still sleeping?! Damn.

I checked her forehead and saw a large red mark on it now. "Sorry!" I whispered.

Nice going Levi, going off and temporarily injuring girls especially when you really li-

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard Hanji start shouting from down the hall. "Oh, Levvvvvi~" she sang. "Oi, shitty glasses! Be quiet!" I whisper/shouted at her.

"Sorry!" She skipped over to me, giggling when she saw the sleeping (f/n) next to me. "What's going on over here? Bruise on her head, knocked out, a short man next to her-wait...what were you doing?" She smirked.

"None of that!" I scoffed. "Yeah, okay." She replied, still smirking evilly. I rolled my eyes and grabbed (f/n)'s leg again. "Why don't you just carry her, silly?" Hanji giggled.

"I don't feel like it." I hesitated. "Excuses, excuses." She sighed.

Dammit.

I quickened up my walking to get out of this awkward situation. "Goodnight, humanities shortest solider!" Hanji hollered as I walked faster.

Fucking Titan-obsessed woman.

I got to (f/n)'s room and opened the door, dragging her inside. "How does one simply sleep through all of this chaos? Must have been really exhausted then." I whispered to myself.

We got to the side of her bed now,

Shit...how do I get her up there? I don't want to pick her up and have her wake up in the middle of it. That would be awkward.

"Guess the only thing I can do, is pick you up." I quietly sighed, bending over to pick her up. I grabbed her arms and pulled her up into a sitting position, then wrapped my arms around her torso, slowly lifting her off the ground.

As soon as I got her off the ground, I took a step backwards towards her bed. Big mistake. I tripped over something and fell backwards, landing on my back with (f/n) on top of me.

Except for one thing. This had me blushing a little too much. When she landed on me, she didn't just land on me. Nope. Her breasts were in my face.

"So...are we just going to stay like this?" I asked myself, my voice muffled. It was dark in her room, for there were no candles lit at the moment. I shoved her off of me and while standing up, she pulled me back down.

This time I landed on top of her and she latched herself to me. Arms and legs wrapped around me, even. "This is going to "fun" to explain in the morning." I sighed to myself with sarcasm.

Flash Back End

A small chuckle escaped my lips when I sat down on my bed, taking my boots off.

I can't believe how much of an idiot I was.

I put my jacket down next to me and lied back.

"Man, my head is killing me!" I groaned, holding my head in my hands. Hopefully I'll be able to get some rest. I haven't slept in two days from so much fucking paperwork, assigned by Erwin.

Shit. This just adds to my stress. Haven't slept, I have a shitty headache, those big ass Titans broke through Shiganshina, I have so much paperwork due tomorrow and so on.

I turned to my side, looking at my window. Glancing at my clock, it read "4:15" in the afternoon.

It's been awhile since I came back to my room...should I check on (f/n) first? Nah...she's tuff. But what if she needs some-no, Levi, she's fine! Don't worry about her too much. She can take care of herself, just let her rest for awhile.

I've noticed how stressed she's been lately, between her losing her ring and other things she won't share. I think (f/n) needs some well deserved time to herself without anyone bothering her at a time like this.

I closed my eyes, trying to get at least some sleep. I don't care if it's even a half hour, I just need a little bit of it to function properly.

Time Skip

(F/n)'s POV

My eyes fluttered opened. The first thing I saw was my nightstand next to my bed. I noticed a glass of water on it too.

I don't remember that being there...?

I shrugged it off, sitting up in my bed. I immediately felt a sharp pain shoot through the back of my head and down my spine.

Ow, dammit! My headache is worse now?!

I groaned loudly, lying back down and closing my eyes.

I thought sleep would relieve my headache...?

I quickly looked at my clock and it was almost time for dinner to be served.

Whatever, I'm skipping dinner tonight. My head hurts too much to even sit up right.

I shifted around until I found a comfortable spot and position, and fell back asleep.

First thing I need to do later, is search for my ring some more.

Third person POV

"You know, I'm feeling really guilty for taking (f/n)'s ring."

"But you know what she's done. So I wouldn't give it back to her for awhile."

"She's new here, though. I just don't want any part in this anymore."

"If you want her to-"

"Okay, I've heard enough! I feel like I should give it back...that's all."

"Alright, fine. You do whatever. But I won't help you anymore."

"Whatever...I don't need your help anyway."

"Sounds good to me."

"Wait!"

"...Yes?"

"I changed my mind. I've seen them together, and I don't like it. So...can you please help me?"

"Sure."

Levi's POV

It was almost time for dinner, so I got up and put my boots and jacket back on.

Seems like my headache went away finally.

I went into my attached bathroom and splashed some cold water on my forehead. Grabbing a hand towel, I dabbed the water off.

I wonder if (f/n)'s awake. Should I go and see if she is?

I decided I would go and see if she was up so she could eat some dinner. On the way there, stupid shitty glasses ran to my side.

"LEVIIIII~" She shouted. "Shut up." I said in my monotone voice. "What's that?" She asked, poking my head.

"Don't touch it!" I hissed, slapping her hand. "Sorry." She muttered, rolling her eyes.

"You going to dinner?" She broke the silence after a few minutes of walking.

"Yes. But first I'm going to get (f/n) to see if she knows it's time to eat." I answered. "Why...?" She said, slowly.

"Because she's resting. She had a headache." I was starting to get annoyed with her.

"Oh...okay!" She smiled, skipping ahead of me, going down the hallway that led to the mess hall.

"Stupid brat." I muttered under my breath, making it to (f/n) and Petra's door.
